How fast does the cam shaft rotate?
The camshaft is either chain or gear driven from the crankshaft. Because the engine is a four stroke, the camshaft will rotate at half the speed of the crankshaft. (the valves and fuel pump will only operate once for every two revolutions of the crankshaft).
Where are the timing marks on a SOHC Cam?
If the camshaft is a split overlap (intake opens the same number of degrees before TDC as exhaust closed after TDC) as are most of the stock and performance SOHC cams available in North America, you can dispense with the degree and dial indicator. With the cam box out off the motor and on a flat surface, cam lobes for #4 cylinder pointing up.
Where is the timing mark on a cam 1500?
But if there’s an ignition timing mark bracket to remove, it’s a 1500 and the cam timing mark is supposed to be on the metal bracket that mounts the timing belt cover. I’d seriously consider buying this bracket if it’ s missing – you’ll want a timing belt cover one of these days, and not having a cam timing mark is going to be a real pain.
Where is the timing mark on a cam pulley?
If you had a 1300 motor and cam pulley, this would be easy – the cam timing mark is on the snail mount. But if there’s an ignition timing mark bracket to remove, it’s a 1500 and the cam timing mark is supposed to be on the metal bracket that mounts the timing belt cover.
Do you have to change the timing gears on a cam?
After each adjustment of the timing gears, you need to go back and repeat steps 4,5 and 6 as altering the cam timing will alter the big gaps between rocker and valve tip. This method initially restricts timing to the manufacturers recommendations.
What are the timing tips for a camshaft?
Camshaft Timing Tips. EXAMPLE: To advance the camshaft, you install the crankshaft sprocket using the keyway marked A. Then you align the A mark on the outer edge of the sprocket with the dot marked on the camshaft sprocket, mark to mark. You must use the corresponding marks on the crankshaft sprocket for proper installation.
